Yes, I got that result as well, and thank you for trying thumb5!
One 130 has the preamp board and one does not, so it would appear that I would sacrifice one of the analog outputs in order to create a chained connection. Bummer.
I've sent this request to Devialet as well, but who knows when the response will happen.

Looks like I was a bit slow replying. Ignore most of it. But you can use the other lines on the slave to make up for the line you lose on the master.

Thank you so much for these responses guys! I've been tearing my hair out as I did the wire transfer this morning only to discover that I had (possibly) goofed.
Confused: I want to be able to drive my Stax headphone amp off the pre-outs as my family is not always supportive of my volume levels. And a dedicated listening room is not an option. Nor is trading in the family.
Thumb5 and anan: In further fiddling with Configurator I arrived at the same conclusion as you that it should be possible by utilizing the otherwise unused output that can be either analog or digital. The concern is that one amp has the pre-out board and the other does not, and the Configurator won't allow that--if you add a new Dev 140 with pre-amp board, they both show having it. Which could be good news *if* the presence of a pre-out board in either of the units enables the pre-out in both. Somehow that seems optimistic but I'll willing to be happily surprised.
Thank again!

The determination has come back and it makes perfect sense: if one 140 has the pre-amp card for analog out, and the other 140 does not, you are left with one available analog out in the first unit; the second unit does not magically sprout an analog capability from the otherwise unused second jack from the right.
The solution is simple: I just ordered a 220 CI which does all that I was trying to cobble together, unsuccessfully, from two 140's. For less.

Glad you found a set up that works for you. Though this does mean I wont be able to bug you about your opinion on 210 vs 140.
